On The SHIN
By Reginald Buxton
C. H. Mullen stepped into a veritable hotbox by backing the smoking ban measure. He faces as enemies some members of his own party as well as the Pachacamaca. Whether you like the "No smokes" business or not, you'll have to hand it to a M.S.C. president who will stand up for what he believes to be right. Student government has never had a better friend than Mullen.
Lawyers talk funny with their teeth in. First year law Kenny Hamilton must've been thinking of red-haired Beldora Cochran when he picked up his tort book and lisped. "I guess I'll do a little tortin' at the library tonight."

Expect Signing Of Russo-Turkish Trade Contracts
★ Turkey and England Sign Mutual Armed Assistance Pact Against Aggressors In Mediterranean
London, Oct. 11—(UF) – Signature of a Russo-Tunisian pact at Moscow may be expected within 24 hours, it was indicated reliably tonight, and will be followed rapidly and will be followed by French and treaties with Turkey.
It is doubted that the British and French treaties will be completed soon enough to permit Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to announce them Thursday, when he is expected to give Commons the answer to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's peace proposals.
Former Montana Governor Dies; Was a Graduate of Law School
Attention was called today in the School of Law to the death in Sep-
tenber of Justice Samuel A. Mizuno, a graduate in law from the University in 1898.
It is understood that Turkey's arrangements with Britain provide for mutual assistance against all aggressors in the Mediterranean and against possible German aggression in the Balkans. Turkey would not, however, oppose Russia in the Balkan move.
The ministry of supply announced today that it had completed an agreement with a Soviet trade delegation to exchange Russian timber for certain quantities of rubber and other goods. It might be expected to have "important political as well as trade impacts."
Chamberlain's reply to Hitler in Commons is expected to reject the Nazi peace basis and refrain from presenting British counterproposals but to leave opportunity for Germany to submit a more acceptable offer.
British readiness to publish a statement of the Allied war aims is believed to have been opposed by France, which considers the moment inopportune, and in view of the French opposition renewed consultation with the Dominions was needed, thereby forcing the one-day postponement of Chamberlain's review of the war situation.
The impression prevails here that Chamberlain's declaration will be an effective argument for tendering reasonable proposals or facing consequences.
He was the only Montanan to serve in all three branches of the state government—the legislative, judicial, and executive. He was the fifth governor of the state, serving from 1913 to 1921. Later for five years he was city attorney of Helena. In 1931 he was elected to the

He was defeated in 1928 in a race for the United States Senate. Delegate to two President-elects, he was boomed by the Montana delegation as a candidate for Vice President, but withdrew his name after several votes had been taken.

"What have you to say for yourself?" Judge Drucker said sternly Lewis stagged to his feet, hiccups, thought a moment and replied:

Sometime during the embarrassed silence that followed in the courtroom, the befuddled man realized that he had made a faux pas.
Select Nine Frosh Debaters
"I didn't mean to say that," he said.
"What I meant was—I'M SOBER."

They are: Verlyn Norris, John Waggoner, Wiley Mitchell, Martha Ahn Hall, Honey G. Hillie Sanford P. Thompson, Shalene Mcman, Cecil Urrighn and Jack Parker.
A final tryst will be held at 4:30 Tuesday, Oct. 17, in the Little Theater, for freshmen students who failed to be at the first meeting. It will be the last opportunity this year to obtain a place on the debate team. E.C. Buchler, professor of speech and dramatic art, urges previous high school debaters to attend this last tryst.

Party Opposes Mullen's Stand On New Measur
★ P.S.G.L. Group May Sep
On Smoking Act Contro-
versy; Pachacamacs Still
Remain Silent
Political complications that may involve a split in the P.S. G.L. party are developing over the Men's Student Council proposal to prohibit smoking in all University buildings, it was learned last night.
Reliable sources said the position taken by C. H. Mullen, '14, in supporting the measure, is being strenthously opposed by ranking leaders in his party, the Progressive Student Government League.
In an attempt to solidify party opposition to the M.S.C. bill it was week P.S.G.L, will hold a caucus this week at which an attempt will be made to bring the party's nominal vote on line. May M. Afc. Light
May Also Fight
Pachacamac's Council forces equally balancing the P.S.L. voting power, had not made known any decision on the smoking measure. Early reports indicated the Rise in smoking would fight the bill in the Council.
The reaction of the W.S.G.A. to a similar proposal introduced Tuesday night was more favorable, albeit with less support from legislators which was definitely divided
Mullen, it was expected, would go the limit behind the smoking bill he personally introduced to the men even to the point of voting with the Pachacamaca and against the party which selected him last spring.
In Joint Session
Both councils will assemble Monday night for a special joint session at which Chancellor Malott will speak in favor of the anti-cigarette-buildings legislation. The meeting was called at the request of the council, Mr. Mackenzie head, and Multon. Also skipped to be a topic when the student bodies convene is "student self-government."
No action on the controversial issue will be taken at the joint meeting, however. In both councils, the decision must be made at a regular meeting. For the men, the next regular session would be Monday, Oct. 23. The women are scheduled to assemble the following evening

Announce Large C.S.E.P. Payroll
★ Many Students Await Assignments for Work; Need More Funds
Approximately 375 University students worked a total of 14,000 hours to bring the C.S.P. payroll to $41,800 for the period Sept. 18 to December 31. The Tilman executive secretary of the C.S.P., announced yesterday,
The minimum amount undergraduate students can earn during the month is $10, and the maximum is $20. Graduate students are permitted to earn up to $20 a month depending upon their need.
There are many students waiting to be assigned work, but until more money is available it is necessary to employ only as many students as the balance from last month's allowance will permit.
At present, there are 200 applications on file from students who need the work in order to complete the school year. The C.S.E.P. office now receives $135 a month more than was allotted previously. This sum is being used to create nine individual jobs at $15 per month per job.

Endorses Work Of Both Councils Regarding Ban
- University Head Favors Elimination of Haxards; Messy Halls, Smoke Bring Severe Criticism
Chancellor Denne W. Malott yesterday struck out in favor of the S.C.-W.S.G.A. anti-smoking bill. The bill is a statement to the Daily Kansas
"I commend heartily the proposals of the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self-Government Association for two reasons; first, because several of our buildings, built long ago in a now outdated building, are under attack; second, because our hallways are the approaches through which all our visitors enter the University and the character of the University is often transmitted to our guests through first impressions. Messy hallways and a haze of cigarette smoke are bringing new students into campus; they be easily avoided by the thoughtful cooperation of us all."
The bill to abolish smoking in campus buildings was introduced into the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A. in their meetings Monday and Tuesday nights of this week. If the act becomes law, violators will be prosecuted in the Student Supreme Court. It is within the power of this court to impose punitive ranselling from less of grade points to "explosion from the University."
A decision on the bill is expected from the W.S.G.A. meeting Oct. 17. On Oct. 13 the M.S.C. will act on the measure. If passed, the bill will be published in the Kansan and will be effective 10 days after publication.
